    Online booking without itinerary

    Roughly 50% of all my family's rail travel involves travelling either from or to a station on the Marston Vale line to or from London out on Saturday back on Sunday with a car or taxi to or from Flitwick or Leighton Buzzard on the Sunday. Being able to specify the Vale station as an origin or...

    Are Class 700’s really that bad?

    Where I am gives cause to use 700s on a fairly regular basis. If it was the only class that I ever experienced I'd say that it was fine, comfortable, quick and reasonably spacious. However, it isn't; I also have the option of using 350s which are superior in every respect (even the 2s)...

    Moreton-in-Marsh to Oxford

    Well, yes. My regular trips to Glasgow have moved entirely to LNER & connections and I've not been anywhere near Morecambe Bay in the past year. I like the idea of there being a high likelihood that my train will turn up and that I can, effectively, book it when I want to.

    Oddities with LNER bookings

    I got this message in late August for a journey from Glasgow to Biggleswade. It was somewhat disconcerting (you may have to stand for part of your journey) as it appeared that this applied to the LNER part of the trip. It took some looking into to determine that the Thameslink part was now...

    LSL running (and WCR try to run) mainline 'extras' this week on behalf of Avanti West Coast

    On the lunchtime today, here at MK. I have to say it was a most pleasant throwback. Only just over two minutes longer than a 390 too and a lot more comfortable.

    Boundary Zone 6 fares being denied for legitimate travel

    No and no. EMR (and some others) are specifically excluded from the Freedom pass scheme. You can, obviously, use Thameslink and, if in possession of a Railcard, buy a discounted boundary zone 6 to Luton Airport (note: not Parkway) which includes the bus.
